Google Chrome has beefed up its autofill capabilities. Now, it can hold key forms of ID such as passports, driver’s licenses, and vehicle registration. With big hands, we unveiled one whopper of the update on Monday. This major update is designed to make your experience better and make the browser more useful as competition from new AI-powered browsers increases.
The improved autofill experience is releasing globally! It is available in many languages, which widens its use to a large range of stakeholders. Google’s recent enhancements are a welcome response to an Internet user’s long-standing call for more power and flexibility from web browsers. By building support to capture a range of identification types and vehicle data, Google hopes to make the online purchase and registration process smoother.
Just a few weeks ago, Google released its Gemini tool to Chrome. Now, it is available for all Mac and Windows desktop users in the United States. At first, this feature was only available to Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscribers. The new updates are part of Google’s ongoing commitment to enhancing its browser’s functionality, providing users with more tools to navigate the digital landscape efficiently.
With more users making the shift to AI-powered solutions for their information seeking needs, Google has no choice but to follow suit in order to stay competitive. The incorporation of the autofill feature for identification documents is a smart play. It keeps us in tune with forward-looking technologies and user expectations.
